Finally! A Good Movie

It has been a long time since I watched a movie that is good enough to recommend. "The Intouchables" is a heartwarming, uplifting, really good movie. It's also based on a true story. I got it as a DVD rental from Netflix so it isn't available on instant view, but local libraries or Redbox may have it. It's a French film with subtitles and it came out in 2011.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
